Whitecaps vs Philly 20110326

[Regs]

First road game and it may not be pretty

No DeMerit (USA callup)
No Theibert (CND U20 callup)
No Boxall (NZ callup)

Chiumiento has a hammy pull

I think KO is 1PM Pacific... it's on Sportsnet (Craig MacEwan & Martin Nash)

Predictions?

 

[Bronco]

2-0 Philadelphia

Hoping for a Sapperton, erm Minnesota Wild performance and squeak out a 0-0 tie

 

[The Apprentice]

Maybe with these players missing there is a chance for Harmse to get in the line-up. Cloughie informed me that he played with the reserve squad today.

Philly 1 - Caps 1

 

[Captain Shamrock]

My money will be on Philadelphia who just defeated Houston in Houston........home game for them could mean a 3 - 1 loss for the boys.........especially with a couple of players absence......

 

[johnnybluenose]

I'm scared that without Boxall and Demerit things could get dodgy... They will have to move Rochat in to pair with Janicki in central d, leaving Wagner (just signed) or Salinas (might not be fit yet) or Brovsky (He was gawd awful in the closed doors friendly at left back) for left back, and Leathers at right back...

I'd expect that Cannon will start over Nolly after the 2 he let in, which the DeRo goal was a bit soft I suppose...

I'm going to guess
-----------Harris---------Hassli-----------
Knight----Dunfield------Koffie------Khalfan
Brovsky---Rochat----Janicki-------Leathers
--------------Cannon---------------------

 

[Captain Shamrock]

BTW, Leathers is mince. He gave the ball away A LOT on the weekend.

 

[johnnybluenose]

He's going to lose his spot to Salinas once Shea Salinas is fit...Mouloud Akloul will also feature once he is over his ankle issues...

 

[4thplacetrophy]

caps 3-2

 

[johnnybluenose]

I'm glad you have faith, Sebastien LeToux will be a load for a no-Demerit backline...

 

[geezer]

I really don't get why the MLS is so against, having an international break. Don't they realize they damage their own rep by lowering the quality on the feild? Not to mention the guys that care about both club and country. I remember last year really important games and clubs missing as many as eight. What gives?

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Yah, that is a tough one, Geezer. It makes even more difficult as the season has just started to give the players a 'break' already seems a bit off? International is rubbish anyway until the World Cup and then it just becomes painful to watch at times.

 

[geezer]

Rubbish or not it's the clubs that bears the brunt. I mean so the League just started your an expansion team and they say good first game now for the next two well take your best players, Cheers boys thanks for the 40 mill! It's not like the League let alone the club is deep, I mean the I paid my money I want my club to have the best chance at succeeding and that means to win. Instead of a nice barn burner like we had on sat we get 15 rubbish internationally and domestically. Who knows maybe the kids are better than I think well see.

Not to mention he has terrible hair.

I predict I'll throw a shoe at my TV after having to listen to MacEwan for more than five minutes. That guy is horrendous.

 

[bergamascho]

Prediction: 1) PGR will be at Mahoney and Sons pub at the Convention Centre. 2) Mahony and Sons is the OFFICIAL home away from home for Section 221 rows AA and BB. 3) Whitecaps will give Philly a good game and earn a draw.

Feel free to drop by and see the new Pub (opened Monday). Really nice interior, solid talent and of course, great beer.

I can't comment on his hair as mine is currently worse. I'm in the middle of another 'bet' with my school team if we make Provincials............can you say MULLET with the number 10 shaved into the side of my head.......Hair is out control but yes, his is shocking too, only to be outdone by his passing ability

DaRoB,

I couldn't agree more about MacEwan, absolute crap, I'll save the hair comment till after I see CaP Shamrock's doo.....

prediction for the Caps this week will be a gutty tie with out DeMerit, the true leader of the Caps it maybe a very difficult weekend....let's see who is willing to step up?

[Captain Shamrock]

5BT, can't argue with the bad hair.......especially right now.......almost could be classified as SLOPPY. How are things, Big Man?
